The New Privileged Class: Illegal Immigrants

Articles: The New Privileged Class: Illegal Immigrants:
"....But recently that has changed.
Now, for the first time in American history, an entire class of persons, a class that numbers in the millions, has been given broad, de jure amnesty and immunity from both federal and state laws.  
In this class of people are those who have been characterized as the undocumented (i.e., illegal) immigrants. 
They have been given two types of special consideration.
President Obama recently announced that he will suspend deportations of those in violation of the 1996 Immigration law.
That he has no authority to do so, and that the power to “establish an uniform rule of naturalization” resides exclusively with Congress, does not matter to the President, his political party, and much of the media.
The precedent for this class immunity has two roots.
One is the enablement of illegal immigration by mayors and other government officials through their refusal to enforce federal, state, and local laws.
This has been accompanied by some legislation that enables illegal immigrants to receive benefits, drive cars and even vote.
The second is the pro-integration and pro-diversity programs passed, mainly by those of the Democratic Party, to overcome the discrimination and racist attitudes of African-Americans who were subjected to the inhumane institution of slavery."
